This was an incredibly good novel about a young woman from the backwoods of Mississippi who leaves her rough, impovershed existence by hitting the road with 2 dollars and the clothes on her back. She is beautiful and totally naive and her unwitting sex appeal causes a chain of events that she never intended and is powerless to stop. She is a train wreck waiting to happen. I could hardly stand to put it down once I started it.

This book is a WONDERFUL STORY and shows how someone can survive against all odds---I felt so bad for Fay yet at times I was extremely proud of her and felt sad to see the book end especially since you come to love Fay as if she were real--hated to put it down--a thick book but worth every page.

Wow...what an amazing book. It pulled you into a world we know very little about and really don't see. The story of Fay is so engaging that I carried this book around with me for days not wanting to put it down. I only accidentally discovered this book here on paperbackswap.com and am so glad I did. I can not believe I only just found such an amazing story and hope that my review will do the same for many others. I think the book would make an awesome independent movie but that's probably hoping for too much!
